FAFSA Campaign Series: 25 Tweets

With the start of each new calendar year, we begin our task of creating a successful campaign encouraging students to file the FAFSA, and preferably file early. This week we’ll continue to provide resources that can assist you as you continue with this year’s campaign.

The Federal Student Aid Digital Engagement Group has a Twitter account (@FAFSA) and also has prewritten 25 tweets to make your FAFSA Campaign easier if you have a Twitter account for your financial aid office or even just one account for the whole school (you can share these prewritten tweets with your marketing or admissions office). These 25 tweets are listed below. You can share these and access other resources at FinancialAidToolkit.ed.gov.
